The State government released Directions 2031 which identified targets for urban land fill of additional dwellings for Perth’s central sub-region of 124,870 while the target for additional dwellings for the outer sub-region is 164,710. For local governments it means they need to reach a gross urban zone density of 15 dwellings per hectare for greenfield areas. As it stands, current data shows even the highest densities in Perth and Peel have an average density of only 10.8 dwellings per hectare, with the outer sub-regions having an even lower average density of 4.9 dwellings per hectare. This means there is certainly a long way to go for local governments to meeting the needs of future housing. To achieve their targets, lot sizes will inevitably become smaller, meaning that trying to fit on a reasonably sized home will become increasingly more difficult.

To accommodate for this and solve space issues that it will present, we recommend installing a car turntable. Turntables are able to eliminate the need for a reversing bay on the property and transform the area into a useful space. You might able to create a more substantial home, or build a pool, whatever you choose to do with your new free space, it will add value to the property and to your lifestyle. And let’s be honest, who has ever said come over and look at my new home, it has a beautiful reversing bay!
